I don't know how many of you have this game, but I thought it would be fun to play against some other cubers. Post your friend code here if you have it and we can get some online matches going.

My friend code is 1805-2489-7349.
 
I should have thought of this! Brawl Friend Code = 1805-1887-7334
 
Should be able to yeah, but I'm leaving for school in about 10 minutes (about 7 a.m here) and won't be back until maybe 3 my time.

But yeah, I mostly play as Falco or Pit :) Got into Falco via Melee because of the advanced techniques :p
 
I don't have it now, but I will next week when I get home. I basically only play as kirby, because at school, I usually play the original SSB. When I was still in high school, I played as falco on SSBM, but I've gotten so used to kirby, I've stuck w/ him. I'll post my friend code when I get back for good.
 
I wish I had Brawl... And a Wii. :p

Why do people play as Falco? I find Fox a better character.

I have Super Smash Bros. for N64, and Super Smash Brothers Melee for Gamecube.

I prefer Falco over Fox, because Falco is stronger, stays in the air longer, and that's basically it. With Fox (particularly on the Gamecube), he stays in the air for like 1 second no matter where he is. So if you're trying to get up from a fall, if you don't think fast enough, you're dead. Also Fox's attacks are weak and don't KO the opponents as well as Falco.

in ssbm, people play falco because he's really easy at just about every level of play, from low to mid to high. sorta like marth
fox is good at high levels, but when you're transitioning through the mid skill levels, it's really hard. you'll be getting owned by peaches/marths/falcos/sheiks a lot because the advanced techs you know/learn aren't that effective, you require a lot more than that as a fox. at low levels, people sometimes find it hard to control his speed and end up suiciding a bunch, and his easiest yet useful technique (uthrow->uair) doesn't work on a bunch of characters. it's not the same with falco who just melts faces throughout his career. :P

in ssbb, i can't tell ya why. ROB/squirtle/olimar here :)

edit: juts to clarify, i classify
low as totally basic techs/no techs at all. people that just play for fun 4man ffa or something, and so on
mid as fairly competent techs/experienced in matchups/maps, knows basic strategy, knows basic combos and percents/characters they can be executed at
high level as all of the previous stuff is already second nature that you don't have to think about, and when the actual game begins. xD

I wouldn't say Falco is easy, learning some of his techs take a lot of training, especially the Edge hop double laser, and learning his wavedash took a while to learn. And shffling with him, but this is all SSBM crap, not valid in Brawl and it's probably jargon to most of you anyway :p
 
Hahaha, I don't own a wii, but I play as Ice Climbers.

I played as Pit for a while, but his lack of range just really ****ed me off. Like, that arrow is awesome, but, it's not going to win me matches. I found it too hard to finish people. I tried Shiek, but her dash attack just doesn't do the same type of damage, and I miss the old Fair even though his other aerials have been improved, except for Dair, that sucks. I mained Fox in melee, but I dunno. He's more floaty, I dunno, I'm just not used to him. And then there was Marth, who seems a little overpowered. It seems like the tip of the sword got enlarged. Whatever, for now, for me, it's the Ice Climbers. Dsmash and Bair are awesome and so are those grab combos. Man, now I really wish I had this game.

compared to fox though? falco's pillar = fox's shine spike in terms of ease and effectiveness. but aside from that, falco has a kickass approach with shl (easy to learn), sick edgeguards with bair/dair (super easy to learn), etc etc. i mean with fox you learn things that don't drastically improve your play (but are still absolutely necessary as building blocks), i mean there's not a really big difference between shff'ing your laser and shdl'ing although shdl only has a 3frame window

anyway kinda off-topic :p

back to ssbb: side-b spam with olimar! i'd play olimar so much more if he didn't have a tether recovery. bleh. i think i might eventually main squirtle ^_^

So im not the only SSB techie here :) I did originally try fox, but I found him way to fast for me to master wavedashing and shl and the like (his shorthops are crazy hard to do without practice) so I moved to falco, and now I'd like to say I'm decent with him. Not pro like DaShizWiz or Forward, but I'm not bad :p.

I still main Falco in SSBB, thinking about switching to Pit though, I guess you could say I main both of them.

Taking a random guess, but did most of you main Ike when you first got the game? Everybody I know did until they got their character unlocked.
 
God, Pit's recovery is so sick. It's been a few weeks since I've played since I don't own the game. I kind of want to get back into it though.
 
Pits recovery skills basically render Lucario's final smash useless :).
 
How can you guys still play video games after cubing?
Before cubing, I played N64 Super smash bros and GTA San Andreas a lot. But after cubing, everything is all boring suddenly.
But I liked Capt Falcon and Fox when I played.
 
you get bored of cubing just like you get bored of anything else. I actually haven't seriously cubed ever since my 4x4x4 bld solve way back a few months ago =/
been playing ikaruga and dota lately ;o

I'm sorry you don't think fast enough.

Fox is a much much better character than Falco, since he's about twice as fast in every regard. Basically, the game got rid of the far-crappier clones, i.e. Roy, Falco, and Ganondorf.

I haven't played enough of Brawl yet, but I like Pit the best.
